Tamannaah Bhatia was replaced with Anasuya Bharadwaj as the host of the Master Chef TV reality show. Tamannaah's lawyer made a statement that Tamannaah had to walk out as the producers failed to pay her dues on time. However, the production house has finally responded to these comments now.

The production house issued an official statement that the actress is the reason for the delay in the shoot of the first season of the TV show. The producers said that the actress caused them a subsequent loss of Rs. 5 crores owing to her other commitments.

The producers refuted the allegations made by the actress that they are unprofessional.

Already, Anasuya began the shooting for the new episodes of the Master Chef TV show. The show is produced by Bangalore's Innovative Film Academy.
